Care Manager Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a care manager in Tennessee?
Most care manager roles in Tennessee require either an active RN license issued by the Tennessee Board of Nursing or a clinical social work license issued by the Tennessee Board of Social Worker Licensure. From there, employers typically look for a bachelor's degree in a health-related field and relevant clinical experience. The Certified Case Manager credential from the Commission for Case Manager Certification strengthens applications significantly and is often required within the first year of hire.
Which companies hire care managers in Tennessee?
Employers hiring care managers in Tennessee right now include Mental Health Cooperative, Gentiva, and Covenant Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's concentration of managed care organizations and large integrated health systems makes it one of the more active states for care management hiring year-round.
Which Tennessee cities have the most care manager jobs?
Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville have the most care manager openings in Tennessee. Nashville dominates hiring because of its dense cluster of health system headquarters and managed care payers, while Memphis draws volume from its large hospital networks and federally qualified health centers, and Knoxville benefits from the University of Tennessee Medical Center and regional BlueCross operations.
Are there remote care manager jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, and more than many clinical roles. Care management is one of the more remote-adaptable health care functions because much of the work involves telephonic outreach, documentation, and coordination rather than bedside care. About 47% of care manager openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with telephonic utilization review and Medicaid population health roles being the most consistently remote positions available.
How can I get hired as a care manager in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is transitioning from a direct clinical role such as a medical-surgical nurse, discharge planner, or social work case aide into a care coordinator or utilization management associate position. Large Tennessee employers like HCA Healthcare and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee post associate-level care coordinator roles that serve as structured on-ramps. Completing the Certified Case Manager exam early or pursuing a TennCare-focused training through a local community health organization also signals readiness to hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to care manager jobs in Tennessee?
